Tooth Colored Braces

Ceramic braces are the latest and most aesthetic form of orthodontic braces offered by modern dentistry.

Conventionally, metal braces are used for orthodontic treatment but despite their excellent efficiency their unesthetic metallic appearance is a major concern for many patients specially because braces may have to be worn for two to three years. Thus, an alternative for these metallic braces are the tooth coloured ceramic braces

Ceramics are an important class of materials with many useful properties for manufacturing a wide variety of industrial and medical equipment. Dentists have been using them for crowns, and small bridges. Now they are also being used braces. The advantage that ceramic has over stainless steel is its optical translucence! Light can partially pass through them just as it does through dental enamel. This makes ceramics very popular for dental crowns, bridges, and now, braces.
